MORE LITTLE THINGS

This book will confirm you are not alone! All parents have
those little moments and treasure them forever

Following
the success of the first volume of The Little Things, not surprisingly comes More Little Things. Written by Matt Lawrey and drawn by Peter Lole, The Little Things is the most successful cartoon to
come out of New Zealand in many years, and this book is a second collection
from the popular daily newspaper feature of the same name. Now published in
newspapers across New Zealand and Australia, the cartoons are clever, poignant
and sometimes downright hilarious. More Little Things will make you laugh, make you think, and best of all remind you
that no parent has it easy.

Parenting
is one of life’s most universal experiences, and there is a huge appetite for
these beautifully realised cartoons, making this book the ideal gift for the
mums and dads in your life.

Published
by Craig Potton Publishing, More
Little Things ($14.99) is
available from bookshops and libraries nationwide .
